In the Netherlands, the analog broadcasters have a lot of shows that are
in the letterbox format.
That means there are 2 black bars in the signal, so my PVR-150 records the
video with the 2 bars in it, which is the expected behavior. Playing back
these videos on a MythFrontend results in the black bars being displayed
as well, as is expected, since the bars are in the video.
This patch adds a new fill method "Vertical Stretch" which removes the
black bars from the visible area.
Also this patch fixes a bug with the VideoOutput::ToggleAdjustFill, as
kAspect_END was used and it should be kAdjustFill_END.
In the past there has been a lot of discussion on whether or not to add
this fill mode, but I see no other way to accomplish this. Please see the
attached screenshots for the differences between the fill modes.
My FE is set to 16:9 aspect ratio. Also the MPEG2 file has the 16:9 aspect
ratio, but the black bars are recorded into the MPEG2 file, because that
is the way a lot of shows are broadcasted here (analog).
